Patient Attitudes on Colorectal Cancer Screening Shifted During Pandemic

A recent survey has found that the rates of screening for colorectal cancer using colonoscopies dipped during the COVID-19 pandemic while there was an improvement in the number of people opting for at-home tests for this disease during that time. Previous studies have aptly documented how patients were reluctant to honor their doctor appointments for illnesses that were not related to the coronavirus. However, a team of researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University (“VCU”) wanted to obtain an accurate picture of the situation with respect to colorectal cancer screening. Not surprisingly, the team established that reluctance levels were high among patients…

How Medical Research Can Leverage AI Without Risking Personal Data

Artificial intelligence (“AI”) can be used to accelerate research and advance healthcare. It can also play a crucial role in conducting clinical trials and drug research. Using artificial intelligence to pool medical data helps save lives because AI surpasses humans in diagnosing conditions and choosing treatments. However, pooling medical data and centralizing it is unethical, given that it doesn’t align with patient privacy conditions. Centralizing data from millions of individuals also makes it vulnerable to misuse, breaches and hacks. So, how can we yield the same benefits as pooling data without sharing patient data? Sharing data is impossible, mainly because…

For their study, the researchers carried out an analysis of more than 3,100 brain tumors that originated from cancers in the colon, kidney, breast, lung or skin of more than 900 patients who received treatment at the Keck Medical Center; the patients were treated during 1994–2015.…

Study Sheds Light on Genesis of Phantom Limb Pain

A recent study reported in “Scientific Reports” has discovered that after an individual’s limb is amputated, areas in the brain that are responsible for sensation and movement modify their functional communication. Functional communication refers to the communication of different areas of the brain. The study, which was conducted by researchers from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and the D’Or Institute for Research and Education, may assist physicians in better understanding why some amputees don’t report phantom sensations while others do. Their research also represents an advancement toward the complete understanding of the brain’s ability to alter itself in…
